Man Higgsy, all the PCR's busted your levels bad.

Ming's post count is barely over 1.0 (due to the registration date bug), so how come he's got full HP? Is it counting an average since some specific time (start of vBulletin, last x number of levels measured by "Exp" which obviously isn't rank, etc)??

I've managed to avoid PCRs, God knows how. That isn't the reason for my mauled condition.

Straybow, if you had read the entire thread you would have seen the above, that explains that for the stats calc used in the wild and crazy human behavior experiment isn't affected by the starting date bug.

When someone starts a thread for a particular topic and someone else 'hijacks' the thread for another topic - like baiting Giancarlo.

I think this whole ranking thing is just another way for Markos to show which side he supports in the Middle East. I think both sides have pluses and minues in their favor, and anybody that can't see that is just not paying attention... blah... blah... blah....

And after 5 or so people respond about the Middle East... the threadjacking has been successful...

I think these new stats are plain confusing...

For example: can someone explain to me why I have an experience level of 1% and Immortal Wombat has one of 41% while we're both quite close to reaching Emperor (I am about 350 posts away, IW about 100)...

*nods* Many thanks Ming, SITS...

Still also wondering about my level since Exp rolled over but level didn't rise.

(Not that I care, but it is a bug.)

(It's times like these I wish I had taken a screenshot.)

You think both sides in the Middle East are right? And how does that relate to Giancarlo being bisexual?

Every HP value is a fraction, thus there are none over 1.

I still don't get it.

This is my 220th post, so I'm missing 80 posts to the next level. I've been a member for 49 days. My avg post is 4.47 per day.

After my 219th post, I had:
level 13
HP 320/320
MP 73/125
Exp 82%

After my 218th post:
level 13
HP 319/319
MP 72/125
Exp 78%

Can somebody please explain how to get to these numbers????
I can't think of any algorithm to produce any of them.

I did that, but I couldn't find the answer to my questions. Mark's definition doesn't explain anything.
